The dragon's harem

Chapter 1357: Senaʼs True Body

Pale skin, long and sharp nails, flowing brown hair, glowing blue eyes, a plump but still toned build, sitting on a wooden chair, fiddling with her hair and staring at Arad with eyes burning with a deep desire. Being stuck beneath her gaze, Arad couldnʼt help but feel both threatened and intimidated, and that wasnʼt a deadly threat.

”Youʼve been waiting for this day for a long time,” Arad said as he looked at her, and Sena immediately jumped from her chair, landing right in front of him.

”Strong, caring, always growing, both serious and lighthearted at times.” She leaned forward, her tongue extended out of her mouth, turning black and almost a meter long as it danged down, reaching toward Aradʼs flesh below.

”Whatʼs more... you arenʼt scared of me. Everyone loses their minds and drowns in insanity and horror upon landing a single glance at me, but Iʼm sure you wonʼt.” She pulled her tongue back and smiled, ”Say Arad. Iʼm quite confident you wonʼt be horrified if you see my true body.”

”Your true body? Do you mean that writhing black mass of tentacles? I remember seeing it when we dealt with the nightmare walkersʼ abominations months ago.” She tilted his head, and she shook hers.

”No, that was merely an avatar, a proxy that holds but a limited portion of my power.” She looked back at Sara and Betty, ”Iʼll owe you one, no, more than that. Can you let me have him for a few minutes? I swear itʼll be quick.”

Sara sighed, ”Fine by me, but keep him safe.”

Betty stared at her and sighed. ”Go ahead, but if you hurt him, Iʼll piss on your corpse.” That sounded like a joke for a moment, but the way Betty stood, the way she was glaring down at Sena, the rattle of magic around them, and the fact that no light was getting into the room from the window meant one thing. The little halfling was dead serious.

”Thank you two, I love you.” Sena then shifted her gaze back to Arad, ”Now, care for a little trip with me?” She reached with her hand, a gentle smile on her face.

Arad stood and looked at her hand, ”A trip where?”

”A trip to my bedroom- the bedroom of the universeʼs harrowing princess of gore and ecstasy.” A flash of light burst from her hand, and suddenly, Arad felt himself falling through the void. Before he could orient himself, he crashed into something moist and soft.

He tried to stand but slipped on the black tar. The ground beneath him rippled, shifting silently in the darkness. He couldnʼt see or hear anything, but he could feel it. Countless slithery, wet snakes danced around his whole body as if he was drowning in a pit of nothing but them.

First, his feet sank into the snake pit, then his knees, then his whole body drowned in them. Soon, Arad couldnʼt even breathe as whatever slippery goo those snakes were swimming in had engulfed him, and it wasnʼt any normal goo.

More acidic than the hells, but strangely smells nice. In fact, it smelled so nice that he started to feel weird. His whole body burned hot. Even his flesh responded beyond his will, making it hard to even orient himself mentally in this madness.

”Ah, shit... I know this smell.” He twisted his torso and expanded his wings. He then wrapped his wings around himself like a cocoon.

It was an aphrodisiac and a powerful one at that.

Soon, a voice rang inside Aradʼs head, a voice so powerful that he almost fell unconscious on the spot. [Hold on, Iʼll pull you out.]

That was Senaʼs voice, but it seemed distorted, deeper, and gruntier- as if the one speaking was a titan mimicking her voice. Arad suspected this was her real voice. The one she normally used was the fake one.

”Listen, shouldʼve warned me before. But Iʼll get myself out. Just you wait.” Arad used one void step and teleported upward far enough to escape the snake pit. His eyes opened wide, and he looked around. First, they were indeed in the lightless void, and he had to make his own oxygen to breathe.

First, he tried to cast some magic to illuminate the place, but his spells immediately dissolved in the void. That wasnʼt because someone tried to counter his magic but because he was so close to a being that had so much mana that it was interfering with reality itself.

”You know what? Iʼve seen worse.” He shifted his senses to focus on mana instead of light. He needed to use that power of his to stare into whatever Senaʼs real body was. He was sure that she was far too massive and also far too powerful.

There, before him, she was a massive mass of writhing black tentacles and blood as wide as the mortal world. Senaʼs real body was of harrowing proportion that even with Aradʼs enchanted mana sense, he was certain he could only sense a fraction of her true body. His magic sense was a sphere with a radius of 4000km, which is the size of a small planet, more than four times the volume of the moon.

But just having glanced at that, Arad felt a heavy hammer crash down on his mind. His brain tried to wrap itself around the countless tentacles and perceive their movement, but their moves shifted and danced like a hypnotic pattern. Arad felt his brain shudder and tremble, halting as if jolted with lightning.

For a moment, it looked as if the tentacles formed a face, but in the next, they were a monster, then became unintelligible, then Arad could swear that he saw a glimpse of the future dancing on the endless surface of black tar and tentacles.

He tried to focus but soon found himself tumbling down, his wings paralyzed and his mind already as clear as a white sheet of paper. He had been staring at Senaʼs body for more than a minute without realizing it.

[Arad! You canʼt brute force it. I know you can survive me, but not like this, not by jumping straight into the fire.] A massive tentacle emerged from the ground and wrapped itself around Arad, lifting him high into the sky.

Arad groaned, took a deep breath, and tried to orient his mind. ”First, youʼre an abomination and one thatʼs very similar to that bastard Nyar. Yes, youʼre similar both to him and Loci.” He looked down, seeing a whole massive planet with a maw bigger than any continent. The tongue coming from it was what carried him up.

Soon, he could see the one titanic eye of the creature looking at him.

[I was right. Itʼs hard for you, but you arenʼt going insane just from being here.]

Arad smiled, ”Look at you, a whole living world. What do they call you?”

”Abominable Starborn.” From the tongue, Senaʼs human body emerged beside Arad.
